I want *less* stuff (ideally nothing) spelled in imperative Python, with some common declarative file replacing both the information currently in setup.py and MANIFEST.in. I thought we were in agreement that non-introspectable metadata was a Bad Thing(TM)?
For me, the important part is that it's not spread around many files. I would also tend to prefer some INI-type file format than python code. On the other hand, python code offers benefits such as being able to dynamically change the data depending on things like module availability and python version, etc. -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64
